How many people do you know who own computers, have immediate access to the web and, yet, ask you inane questions that they could answer themselves with a ten second google search? Yeah, I thought so. Me too.

The Panetta Burns plan does exist; I first read it about more than three weeks ago. It's pretty off-the-radar, though, so I'm hardly surprised that neither anybody in here nor the article writer have heard of it. But that was back before a quarter of all people started to notice it. It's getting pretty played out now, a lot of people I know have moved on to more interesting and unique plans. The Gromley-Hinckson, for example, or if you really want something obscure, Kanes-Tyrex or Indigo-Montoya.

So it's the hipster plan?

MorrisBird:The Panera-Bread plan calls for a charred sandwich and bland soup. I cannot support this debacle.

I favor the Pantera-Bread plan myself. It takes things to a new level.

I imagine the Indigo-Montoya plan involves looking for the 6 fingered man.

Not taken in account apparently: the fact that a percentage of the American population have a negative opinion of Leon Panetta and would oppose any plan he is associated with, regardless of its content.

/personally I'd cast a wary eye upon it//does the Panetta-Burns plan originate in North Korea...I hear there is a unicorn lair there

When I was a teenager I naively thought that in the future people wouldn't espouse incorrect facts because they could easily verify them on the internet. How wrong that was. I had a guy telling me last week that the unemployment rate in Saudi Arabia is 0%.

take the average farker on the street, some sort of math for hours per week. subtract the hours they sleep, hygiene - dress time, commute, work, time for the 100 chores everyone does every week, time for other responsibilities they have in life. average farker has very little time to themselves to keep up with the events of the day, their personal interests/hobbies/recreation and what's going on in the world. and still some jerkoff has to bust peoples balls because they don't know everything about everything. morans. actually, newpaper reporter = elitist morans. the wurst kind of moran.

Of course, they also want to kill various other pieces of the social safety net. Cuts to Medicaid are heavily mentioned currently.

In an age where we are intentionally devaluing the dollar, they want to also reduce cost of living increases for Social Security. You're not even going to be able to afford the good cat food, people.

It's hard to believe such a large percentage of people are too stupid to realize that all the "fiscal cliff" talk is the current excuse to fark over everyone else all for MOAR TAX CUTS! to benefit the rich.

/ my name is Indigo Montoya; you killed my father, prepare to die!

You keep saying that word, "plan". I do not think it means what you think it means.

The average Farker spends 117 hours a week on Fark, 23 hours a week fighting in the War on Christmas, and 16 hours a week perpetrating various welfare and Medicare frauds. They have plenty of time to keep abreast of current events.
